Javier Maysonet is new executive chef of the AC Hotel Fort Worth Downtown and its culinary operations.
"Chef Maysonet has created a menu that emphasizes the European soul and Spanish roots of the AC brand," the hotel said. "Some signature menu items include breakfast cazuela, empanadas, carnitas pork, and chicken and chorizo paella."
“I am excited to be taking the lead at AC Hotel Fort Worth Downtown,” Maysonet said. “I believe that our food should bring ultimate enjoyment to our guests, and I aspire to create an extraordinary dining experience. From breakfast in the AC Kitchen to cocktails, tapas and entrees in the AC Lounge, I look forward to taking our guests on an unforgettable culinary journey of European-inspired flavors that are perfectly curated, poured and plated.”
Maysonet was executive sous chef for Dallas/Addison Marriott Quorum by the Galleria, where he oversaw culinary operations, including a 19,000-square-foot banquet space and 545 guest rooms. He was a sous chef at other well-known hospitality establishments in Puerto Rico, including W Retreat & Spa, Vieques Island and El San Juan Hotel.
The AC Kitchen offers a European-inspired breakfast featuring freshly baked croissants, sliced prosciutto and cheese, savory and sweet breakfast tarts, yogurts and fresh fruit. The AC Lounge in the hotel lobby features the AC signature gin and tonic, Spanish wines, local microbrews and crafted cocktails created with locally distilled liquors, and a tapas menu of small plates with a Spanish flair.
